About this book :-
"Discrete Differential Geometry" by "Alexander I. Bobenko" and "Yuri B. Suris" is a detailed introduction to "discrete differential geometry", a field that studies geometric structures in a "discrete setting" rather than smooth, continuous spaces. The book bridges classical "differential geometry" with computational and combinatorial methods, providing a foundation for modeling curves, surfaces, and more using discrete mathematics. It is designed for researchers, students, and practitioners interested in applying geometric concepts to computational problems.
The book covers essential topics such as discrete curves, surfaces, nets, and integrable systems, explaining how classical geometric concepts like curvature, torsion, and transformations can be adapted to discrete structures. The authors also introduce "geometric algorithms" that allow these discrete objects to be computed and manipulated efficiently. By combining theory with computational applications, the text shows how discrete differential geometry can be applied to computer graphics, geometric modeling, and numerical simulations.
Bobenko and Suris emphasize both the mathematical foundations and practical implementations, with numerous examples, illustrations, and exercises. The book is a key resource for understanding the connections between smooth and discrete geometry, offering readers the tools to explore discrete geometric structures rigorously. Its focus on computation, modeling, and theory makes it an essential reference for anyone working in "computational geometry", applied mathematics, or geometric design.
